I thought it would be interesting to share with you a day in the life of a Sentinel General Contractor. Here are some of the daily duties and responsibilities that Tim and Rick perform.
Let’s start with Tim. He is Vice President of the company. After an appointment is scheduled Tim will go out to the job site whether it be your home or a commercial site. He will conduct the initial consultation and explain the planning, design and construction process to the client. Depending on the project he will take measurements, notes, pictures and possibly sketch a layout of the area that will be remodeled, renovated or built. Larger projects of course require plans from an architect. After the initial appointment, Tim comes back to the office and contacts our licensed and insured, highly qualified subcontractors. He will make arrangements for each contractor to visit the site and provide a bid.
Tim will supervise the work being done and will answer all the client’s questions and concerns through out the entire process. If an architect is required Tim will review the plans with the architect. Architects generally look to the contractor to solve any problems that may arise. Tim is also responsible for applying for permits and the processing of the permits. He will also coordinate any inspections if necessary. He will make arrangements to secure the property, provide temporary utilities on the job site if need be. It takes a dependable, decisive person to be a general contractor and you will find those qualities in Tim.
Rick is the President of the company. Rick manages the day-to-day operations. After the bids come in Rick reviews them and calculates the numbers to give the client the best proposal price.
